STEP-UP COLLECTION By LENAKLAX




-You'd better check the Polar bear & Lion From the STEP UP collection by LENAKLAX before somebody else tells you about it , cause LENAKLAX is doing it , no kidding , her stuff is pretty much fantastic ,so click on that link, yeah do it .

available here ( FRANCE)

available here ( US)

Words from LENAKLAX:

Collection "Step Up"

The "Step Up" collection comes from something I have felt, lived and still experience...
It's all about the Polar Bear, it may sound very strange I know, but it isn't to me.
This is my take on the polar bear - different from what you may have seen or heard of them before - since the day they first appeared to me...

In the necklace, can you see this little chain with the bear's paw ?
It can go at the front (wisely near the Polar Bear's mouth).
Or, if that doesnt suit you (or the Polar Bear himself) it can go behind, down your neck and between your shoulder blades... as if the Polar Bear was pretty high and mighty.
If you think it would be nice to have the paw around your wrist, then please go ahead.
Then, there is the Polar Bear's paw earrings. As if you'll give your paw !

Now please "Step Up" and enjoy yourself like I do.

Roger Molls is a Musician and a video creator promoting the positive side of hip hop culture, dancin’, breakin’ scratchin’ everywhere in the world.
His music style is definitely a unique blend of eclectic music, history, and culture with a touch of 70’s and blaxploitation roots , from influence from old 60’s/70’s beats of classic like serge gainsbourg or James Brown, Curtis Mayfield or even France GAll to creating his own music videos to featuring new american and european Mc’s like Above Ave or Art-cons ,Roger is a beast, a passionate , a talented individual and before all that , an awesome friend .
His attention to detail in the sound of each musical piece is just delightfull
Stay tuned for the infos about the album release.
Final Photography for the album Rewind comes from Samuel Amez .

Pretty awesome projector/augmented reality interface : Twinkle

-This thing called Twinkle has actually endless possibilities in term of new interactions behavior , it's basically a projector mounted on a camera ,you project, the camera film, the "computer" analyse the visual projected onto and automatically send project back augmented reality contentm, (here a little girl reacting to stairs,fire graphcs or water graphics) , in the futur this technology could be part of any smart phone, objects,remote or whatever you can think of .

Originally created to illustrate a Real-world game interface I can see some kind of a paradigm shift in term of what interactive communication or advertising could be , life is a game for some and this would transform the surrounding environment in an endless quest for projecting support .

In other words i am really excited by this soon to be everywhere little thing created by Tokyo University and Keio University students ...
